    I neglected to check Activate UAC when I ran DelFix (I went too fast...) Is this a problem?

    Activate UAC
    Means User Action Control, the little box that pops up when you click on something to run....in a sense it involves administrator rights.

    I think you should had clicked on that because I use mine.

    How about I run DelFix again, and this time, I check Activate UAC?

    DelFix says: ~ Activating UAC ... OK

    Are we there yet?

    Thread re-opened

    This is the message that was sent:
    ***************
    During this past December and January, I downloaded and ran a number of tools that you suggested in the thread "Persistent Warning." The "popup" that had led me to seek help has never occurred since we concluded. At the end of our thread, you suggested that I employ Adblock, which I did, Since then, my laptop has been freezing very often, especially when I enter Facebook. Several times, I have seen a banner at the top of my screen saying that a Script, or a Website, was slowing my browser and asking what to do. It offers a couple of options: one says "Wait" and the other says "Stop It." Neither has been any help. My laptop is freezing up far too often, and I need help.

    Should I start a new thread, or do you want to reopen the "Persistent Warning" thread?
